Description

Could you instantaneously learn to fly a helicopter -- not by practicing, but instead by uploading instructions directly to your brain?

Join Eagleman to learn about the possibility of modifying the microscopic structure of your brain and leapfrogging education. What are the possibilities, the caveats, and the unexpected complexities?
